Canada ranked as the 2nd best country in the world
Canada has once again ranked as the number two overall country in the world to live in.
The number two ranking is out of a list of 80 countries, and Canada only trails behind Switzerland at number one.
Canada also came in at number one for quality of life and number four for citizenship.
The quality of life sub-ranking is based on several factors: affordability, job market, economic stability, family-friendliness, income equality, political stability, safety, and quality of public services such as the healthcare and school systems.
According to the publishers, the 2018 Best Countries report and rankings are based on how global perceptions define countries in terms of a number of qualitative characteristics, impressions that have the potential to drive trade, travel and investment and directly affect national economies. Eighty countries, up from 60 in the inaugural rankings, were measured in this year’s report.
